Chapter 427 At a loss
The footsteps stopped when they reached the door.

No one made a sound.

There was no one outside the house, and inside the house, everyone was holding their breath and concentrating.

The waiting air suffocated me into sticky cold sweat, and I even forgot to breathe.

Someone opens the door.

Someone opened the door that was so bright that it was almost blinding to open one's eyes, and Chen Dongchun walked in wiping the sweat from his face.

My eyes subconsciously fell behind him. Behind Chen Dongchun was a man and a woman, two skinny children about twelve or thirteen years old.

Yes, it's a child.

The two children's mouths were open, holding two identical bamboo baskets firmly in their mouths.

The handle of the bamboo basket has a red rope, and the basket is also covered with red cloth.

And the arms on their shoulders——

All was empty.

Qingzhu and Qingsong stood timidly at the door and looked inside.

Chen Dongchun looked very proud, coughed twice, ushered the two siblings into the room, stretched out his hand and made sign language with them.

I don’t say I understand it 100% of the time, but I can probably get a rough idea.

Chen Dongchun is saying——

'Come in, it's them. '

Qingzhu and Qingsong, two siblings who were plainly dressed and obviously a little shy, slowly came to me and Gong Shuji.

They first put the basket in their mouths on the ground, and then cautiously grinned at me and Gong Shuji.

They seemed unable to speak, so they adopted a more pure and simple way to express their gratitude.

"Pfft!"

The two siblings knelt down directly in front of me and Gong Shuji, and buried their foreheads directly in the very clean dirt.

They have no hands.

They have no leverage.

Therefore, no one could get up from kneeling.

But they didn't seem to want to get up.

Chen Dongchun took a step back and stood close to the wall, making a space for us, but the room was only so big, and we couldn't go anywhere further.

So, I could easily see the expression of relief and pride on his face.

I am pleased that the child is sensible.

I am proud that I have taught a pair of children who, although physically disabled, are grateful in their hearts.

Gong Shuji reacted quickly. He stepped forward directly, stretched out an unchained hand, and helped the two children in front of him one after another, saying repeatedly, "No need to kowtow."

I could still see the smile on his face, but when he turned to ask me for pen and paper, I couldn't see it again.

Because there are so many flashing lights in front of my eyes.

After Gong Shuji's words, he seemed to return to my side again. He seemed to have taken out something and wiped my face carefully.

But the more he rubbed it, the sadder I became.

I say:

"Gong Shuji, they didn't write to you."

"They have no hands."

"So many of the letters they sent you were ghostwritten by Teacher Chen."

Gong Shuji's handsome face was looming in the shimmering tears. He was still so patient, looking like a god taking pity on his people:
"I know, I saw it."

"So, live well, this should be what your second uncle wants to see."

I didn’t seem to hear clearly what he said next.

Now, it seems that I can no longer hear those two words hanging on my chest.

Once you hear it, you will definitely be dizzy for a while.

My sudden collapse seemed to scare the two siblings, as well as teacher Chen Dongchun.

The two siblings looked at the teacher at a loss. Teacher Chen Dongchun obviously did not expect such a scene, and was a little confused for a moment.

I dug through my pockets and took out all the cash and a gold ring I had gotten.

The siblings couldn't take it over, so I handed it over to Teacher Chen Dongchun. Teacher Chen Dongchun was shocked at first and refused to ask for these things.

But the moment I pointed at the siblings, he suddenly realized, his eyes were slightly red, and he stopped his initial pushback with tears in his eyes.

The two siblings couldn't hear, couldn't speak, and couldn't even sign. So after shouting a few times, the elder sister knelt down and kowtowed to me, while the younger brother Qingsong, with red eyes, picked up a basket. Placed it in front of me.

Inside the basket are some eggs.

There are twenty or thirty baskets in each, varying in size, but each one is extremely clean, with not even the slightest trace of grain cycle items.

Obviously, I have been saving for a long time.

I also took out all the white paper that I usually cut and put in my backpack.

Teacher Chen Dongchun seemed to be very concerned about the paper that I scribbled on. Maybe these things can come in handy.

I'm a waste.

I can't save anyone.

I couldn't even save myself.

Someone needs them more than me.

I dug out again and again, but I couldn't get anything out of the bag.

It wasn't until Gong Shuji held my back again that I finally came back to my senses:
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to give them everything I have."

"It's me, and I don't have it anymore."

I have nothing left.

But I still feel so guilty.

I still feel so guilty.

I originally used the most malicious assumptions about the teacher who had obviously volunteered in the village for a long time and there was not even a trace of meat in the bowl. I also maliciously speculated on the two children who had no hands and could not write letters to express their gratitude.

Gong Shuji looked even sadder than me, but he was still smiling, still smiling at me:

"It's okay, it's okay, no one will blame you."

"If someone blames you, it's because she never meant it."

"You're already fine, fine."

"Remember what I said?"

"You don't have to be too rational, and you don't have to do the right thing in your life."

I heard Gong Shuji say this to me, and he said it to me again.

I know I must be embarrassed.

But fortunately, this time there was a public shuji, and he said to me——

No one will blame me.

I must have cried for a long time.

for sure.

I cried until the sky turned black.

They cried until the siblings turned around and left Chen Dongchun's house.

We cried until Teacher Chen Dongchun went to the corner of the room and untied the bacon hanging on the wall for us, cooked the bacon and fried green peppers for us, and gave us two bowls of noodles with two poached eggs.

I kept crying until Gong Shuji even fed me half a bowl of noodles, and I finally woke up.

There are two more chairs and a table in the room. I don't know where they were moved from or borrowed.

At this time, the three of us were sitting around the table. Teacher Chen Dongchun was about to speak but was hesitant to speak.

Gong Shuji still didn’t put down the chopsticks he was feeding me:

"Open your mouth."

I took the bowl and chopsticks from Gong Shuji's hand and touched my face. Gong Shuji breathed a sigh of relief, took out the paper with some words written on it and started writing and drawing.

That's not the one I originally wrote, it's another one.

I glanced at it and what was written at the top seemed to be:
"I'm sorry, my sister is a little bit mentally ill."

"Let's take a break first, okay?"

This should be the reason why my life disappeared for a few more hours.

Without Gongshu Ji, it is difficult for me to imagine what I should do when I disappear for no reason.

With this thing and these two people, the world has not deceived them. There is still a gentle corner that can restore their spirits.
So good~
